7/19/2011: Dolphins and Hogfish

Today was a day that you would normally pay at least$250 at a theme park to experience.  On our last dive of the day we had a friendly (and hungry) dolphin come and hang out with us for about 45 minutes.  While the divers were down, Channing dropped a line while relaxing up top.  After catching a few grunts a big dolphin showed up looking for a free meal.  Given the fact that it is illegal to feed wild dolphins we were just trying to release the fish and hoping they would make it home…………NOT A SHOT!!  Our new friend snatched each 1 the minute we let it go and immediately surfaced as if to say thanks.  All 5 divers were able to swim with him for about 15 minutes while watching the show.  Mike from New Jersey took video that I can’t wait to see and share while Channing got a little video from the 1st fish the dolphin ate.  The visibility was excellent at both dive sites and our 2 shooters got a stringer full of hogfish and snapper but the dolphin show was the highlight of the day.
